We get to pack our bags for the return trip tomorrow. I haven't won my sister's cats over yet....I must be losing my charm! One is on the verge, but it will all be for nothing. I miss my kitties. The weather has been pretty reasonable over all. It rained/snowed for the Bermondsey market, but cleared up. The 99% protesters were in force outside St Paul's Cathedral, so that was marred. The National Gallery was fabulous. The last time I did a tourist visit to London was 1978, so there are lots of changes.
Almost every square inch of London is being dug up. Traffic is horrendous. Every thing is rushing towards completion for the Olympics. I think that there will be massive unemployment when it's all done..they will have completed everything that needs to be done.
It'll be nice to get back to sane traffic.
